About this episode
In the world of foresight, we’re no strangers to complex challenges. But perhaps none feels as pervasive and daunting as the “Tragedy of the Commons.” This age-old narrative of scarcity and competition for limited resources shapes our decisions, our systems, and often, our very outlook on the future.
As activist and founder Adrianne Wright says, “the scarcity mindset is how we tell a fundamentally American tall tale about a nation built on notions of individualism; a male-dominated story filled with loners who suck it up and ride off into the sunset as others applaud our resilience. Shifting our stories from scarcity to abundance honors the fullness of our humanity.”
As foresight practitioners, we understand that the future is not a fixed destination, but a canvas for our collective imagination.
Join us for our next Wicked Opportunities Live! where futurists Frank Spencer and Yvette Montero Salvatico will guide us on a journey beyond scarcity, toward the liberating power of Imagination Literacy.
This livestream is an invitation to:
-Challenge the assumptions of scarcity that hold us back.
-Reimagine systems and structures through a lens of abundance and possibility.
-Connect with a community passionate about building a future where everyone thrives.
